Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, Tooth fairy are real.
Elvis is alive and well also.
Those who rely on the mainstream view of the world completely, are complete fools.
One of the three lines above is a proven fact.
Which is it?

Thats why I think that being a human being is one of the biggest mind fu@#s i can think of.
When it comes down to it, who knows what the truth is. Is the bible true? Is Jesus Christ really God?
Do we have a soul? Or are we just advanced chimps?
Being a human is really the ultimate mind fuc%.
My brain tells me we will dye and thats it. But my heart and instinct tells me I am an eternal creation of God.

You have touched a nerve for me
Everything in that list of yours has strong arguments on either side...It has only been the last 18 months that i have been questioning everything mainstream, i have made genuine and shocking realisations about the actual world we live in, that what is reported on mainstream news is highly sugar coated and barely scratches the surface what goes on in the world we live in...therefore the mainstream veiws of everything on your list has every right to be questionable...
The worst thing for me is, everytime I've questioned these things openly and asked others to open their minds..they look at me like im crazy!!!
I can see them in their own little bubble, quite content to be believe everything they are told is true. Why should it be otherwise?
Then it makes me think..Why should i question it? Why is mainstream so bad? Does it really hinder us in our daily lives? What if were just obsessing, wasting time we could be enjoying...and thats why the skeptics laugh at us???
Not that I believe in many of these scenarios. Though what if it was all proven to you? What if all you had doubted was proven true?
What would be the impact on your life?
Would life become so mundane that you wanted it to end, especially to Mainstream Science-based apocalypse?
Would the destruction of your beliefs be the end of you?
Could you ever look anybody in the eye, who you stated these beliefs to?
